Dive behaviour and respiration rates of humpback whales (Megaptera Novaeangliae) during foraging off Northern Norway, with implications for metabolic rate estimates
Gunnufsen, Rikke (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-05-16)Knowing the metabolic rate of marine mammals is often important as baseline knowledge of their biology and physiology, e.g., to allow ecosystem assessments and estimation of their resource needs and use, and prey requirements. However, our current knowledge of energetics of large cetaceans is limited compared to many smaller cetaceans. Determining the energy expenditure of large free-ranging whales ...
